Adds to Attractiveness' of Grounds.
Childrtn May Do tha Work Under
Direction of Teachers and Find It a
.' Pleasure. ;
For those Interested In the welfare
of their borne towns the following will
prove very Interesting and Instructive:
A friend of the writer, who was
very proud of ber son and deeply mys
tified at bis apparent Inability to sue
reed.' In speaking of blm said: Ml can't
understand lu He went to school for
twelve years and received an excellenl
education. . I sent him to the district
school, from there to the village high
school, and" then supported him while
h tank a twn ( pr cnnnn at an asxt-
cultural college." Some time later the
writer Wfnt to. see this young man
(who. by the way. was a most agree
able and kindly - chapr on his farm.
Then be realized that the most vital
part of his education bud been neg
lected. He was absolutely deficient
In ability to see things. His powers
of observation bad never been awak
ened. The result was that the tittle
ihings which make for success were
overlooked. " .
. Many a man bas mude a tremendous
Muccesa In bis life who was deficient
in education, but trained to observe.
This sense should be developed early,
and the duty falls ou the teachers II
the country and village schools as weli
as on the parents. It Is surprising how
quickly children will become interested
In .watching tond questioning about
trees, birds, animals, etc. This Instinct,
nurtured and developed. Is Invaluable
to the man or woman who expects to
make farmtnjr his or her profession.
By the use of this sense, we might al
most call It, changes' In tbe weather
are foretold, the hay Is cut at Its very
best stage, the health of the live stock
Is maintained, and so on through a long
list of little things that count for so
much. . , - .
In our country schools trees, flowers
and birds are tbe most available and
beautiful productions of nature that
can be used to point out interesting
things for the children to study, How
many children realize that a tree Is a
living thing, with vital functions and
parts; that they have systems of di
gestion, assimilation and respiration,
with organs for carrying on tbe won
derful and various processes of life,
much the same as animals; that a tree
breathes the same as an animal; that
In . the leaves the breathing' goes on
through the pores, and In tbe parts of
the tree covered by bark it goes on
through the small, light colored, raised
spots, which can be plainly seen on
the young branches of nearly all trees;
that some, trees mature early, others
take a thousand years; that In the
Bame climatic and soil conditions trees
will assume different forms one will
develop a round, well branched top.
another will have a central stem, while
some will yield turpentine, some sug
ar, and so on through the long list of
trees, and finally that no two varieties
of trees have the same bark or tbe
same blossoms or manner of reproduc
ing themselves.
There are sufficient practical rea
sons for planting trees about our
scboolhouses, which should appeal to
even the most matter of fact person.
Perhaps the strongest reason Is tbe
comfort of the teachers and pupils
who have to live In the scboolhouses
for five or six hours a day for from
six to nine months in tbe year. In
summer the sun pours down Its heat
on the unprotected building, while, In
the winter tbe Icy blasts necessitate
a large supply of fuel, which often
times fails to keep the inside tempera
ture much above the freezing point.
A small sum of money Invested each
year In trees would soon produce a
wonderful difference in the appearance
of our schools. Trees are cheaipand
may be bought for 60 cents eachVom
any reliable nurseryman, which would
mean a contribution of 5 cents apiece
from twenty scholars to cover all the
cost. Including eipressage. The plant
ing should be done In an Intelligent,
systematic way from some good plan.
This should be a detailed outline of the
planting, based on a careful analysis
of the situation. A map of the grounds
should be made, with the buildings lo
cated and the spots where the trees are
to be planted shown. Before going as
far as this, however, the teacher and
the pupils should study something
about tbe trees, their nature, size, hab
its and soil preferences. For example,
a purple leaved beech should stand
alone, where It can develop In all Its
glory. On the other hand, evergreens
look well In groups or planted as a
Wlpdhrenk. . ' ...
